For instance, when a purchase order is received but not invoiced, Dynamics NAV automatically enters a Value Entry with an expected cost. Expected Cost Posting The key to understanding how Expected Cost Posting to G/L works is being aware that there can be two types of Value Entries. If Automatic Cost Posting is checked, every time a Value Entry is entered into the Dynamics NAV database, the corresponding General Ledger entries are automatically made. Additional Value Entries can be added later by the Adjust Cost program. This Value Entry reflects the cost of that transaction, whether positive or negative. When an inventory transaction is recorded in Dynamics NAV, an associated Value Entry is automatically entered into the Value Entry Table. Go to Warehouse->Inventory->Setup->Inventory Setup: Inventory Setup Window in Microsoft Dynamics NAV Classic Client Automatic Posting To understand what Automatic Cost Posting does, it’s important to understand Dynamics NAV’s Value Entries. The two most common questions are: 1) How do the settings affect system performance? 2) How do the settings affect what is posted to the General Ledger and when? In this blog, I will discuss these questions in the context of Automatic Cost Posting, Expected Cost Posting to G/L, and Automatic Cost Adjustment in Dynamics NAV, saving Average Cost for a later blog.
I am often asked questions on the effects of Inventory Setup in Microsoft Dynamics NAV.
